    1. I mean, I’m not buying the parents as Innocents, at all, but I wish people would hold their horses. Watch and wait, listen more. I am a city girl, bugs see me as their very own cafeteria. I don’t think I could’ve survived a hardscrabble upbringing, so I respect those that have, while hoping to not get cross-ways, too often.

    2. Appreciate you guys SO much! Thank you for your neutrality & fairness. Some so-called experts out there have passed judgement based on this family having a different & yes somewhat troubled lifestyle & are making matters worse, instead of trying to help. Almost like ambulance chasing or tabloid story sellers. We need truth, not pre-judgement.

    3. So, what about the dozens of dogs on their property, did not one of those dogs bark and alert Mom and Grandma? How would you abduct a child with all those dogs present and no barking???

    4. I have no clue what I’m talking about , but is there a door in the basement that Summer can leave from. And wouldn’t that be someone she knew because how would they know which room she is in? Another possibility I thought was maybe she fought with her brother and he lost his temper and hurt her. So now the parents are covering for the brother.

  2. I believe Scott is the one that edits these videos. I really appreciate how you’ve been inserting the quick clips that illustrate what you’re talking about. For us non-experts, this is really helpful. I know it probably takes a lot more work but it is so worth it for the audience. Thanks for doing that.

    1. Yes, very grateful to Scot for the extra work.

      I also show my appreciation by liking, commenting, and watching the ads. Thank you Scot, Greg, Chase, and Mark 😽

    1. @Jawja
      I know Gerri. You’re right. We can only pray she’s ok. Sad all round X

    3. @Pamela I do pray everyday, I hope my own life experiences haven’t clouded my vision.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙

    4. Hi Gerri
      I hope things haven’t been too bad for you! 💛 I thought maybe Don and Candus were used to hardship which was why they have a bleak outlook about it but we’re all just guessing. I’m sure the detectives know more but rightly have to keep quiet just now. Keep safe!💛💛💛

    5. @Pamela Thank Pamela!! Ditto…🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛 This case makes me…🤪🤪🤪

  4. You all were gracious with this couple. Believe their socioeconomic situation could tee them up to be misinterpreted on lots of levels. Your “lens” was fair and balanced. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

    1. @KEM EEE!
      And Gmaw and the boys know! They’re all lying and hiding the truth. I expect for one of the boys to break because they’re getting the blame for not watching her and letting her disappear. They know it’s all a lie. Nobody could get near the house or come into the yard because they have 20 dogs guarding the place.

    2. Is there really a memorial spot set up for her in the yard? I saw a picture that looks like a grave in a cemetery. Why would you do that for a MISSING child? I could understand tying a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree but definitely not a bench with balloons and freshly planted trees and flowers.
      Is that the flowers Candus and Gmaw and Summer were planting just minutes BEFORE she disappeared?
      Looks very sketchy!

    3. @sue silmon very good points! Also, when Candus says, “it smothers me.” A slip of the tongue, I think.

    4. @sue silmon Agree 1 billion percent!
      I think these panelists may have made this vid as a red herring.

    1. @Sooz lol I’m from an area maybe 2 hours away from where they are and I forget how our speech sounds to other people. But they are messed up on something so their speech is especially slurred

    2. Agree! She’s so slowed down she can barely string a sentence. And then its said with no intonation. Completely flat affect..

    3. @Sooz, it’s more than likely Xanax. When my son was murdered that’s what my doctor gave me.
      Also, she has something going on with her face like Greg said, nerve damage maybe or Bells Palsy.
      When my sugar is low, I slur. I’m not able to tell it but anyone who knows me, can.

    4. Don is apparently abusing cocaine, and mum smokes cannabis, and is an ex- user of meth amphetamine!
      Neither parents have denied subsequent substance abuse! As for Candus in this video, it seems apparent she is under some sort of sedation for the distress! It’s not uncommon for parents who have lost children to be sedated!

    5. After reading all comments on this , I just want to say , these men are not naive or easily fooled. We will hear more about these people.

    1. I also think it is a non stranger kidnapping. that’s why no dogs barking and someone who knew the layout of the house. knew the grandmother lived in the trailer. knew the door to get outside of that basement. knew where the boys hung out. probably knew every inch of that property

  7. I watched this a couple of weeks ago. And something you guys said was opposite of what I thought. When Don presses hard on his son’s shoulders, you guys thought it was comforting. As a school teacher used to watching kids react, something to consider is the look on the boy’s face when Don says things. To me, it’s as if Don has said something that the boy hasn’t heard and is reacting to it. The comforting press of his shoulders might just be a warning. That’s my take for what’s worth.

    1. I saw the kid’s behavior as being uncomfortable in front of the strangers and the camera, and the dad’s hands as comforting, like they said. At the same time, I could see there being a “warning” of a sort – “these people are here to help us find your sister, so behave” kind of thing. Like the Behavior Panel says, there’s no absolute “this means this!”

  8. I would have to be on half the drugs in CVS if that happened to my child. I feel worse for her every day and I think a lot of people have been quick to judge her because of the lifestyle, poverty, etc.

    3. And that possibly contributes to how they look and sound in these clips (needing some kind of medication to function in this situation, that is). I agree about some people on social media judging her, and him.

    4. @Gwentheferret yeah there’s no black or white way to look at this situation, I just hope the investigation isn’t hindered by them. I don’t even know what has happened the last month bc I stopped paying attention

    5. Absolutely agree. I know so many people in our town tht are just like this guy ,do drugs ,have a rap sheet a mile long, buy drugs and alcohol for underage kids ,do drugs w their kids ,make all kinds of stupid mistakes and would Absolutely lay their life down for their kids. This is sheer ignorance. Tht is not a put down. It’s truth 😔

    1. These guys are on the payroll.. come on. Dons the perfect honest non deceitful liar? Fix is in

    2. Check with the updates from the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation). Don’t rely on social media sources – those have caused the investigation problems, both with rumors from social media getting reported as tips when they’re actually false, and the family getting harassed and threatened by strangers.

  10. When Don said he wasn’t sure if he wants summer’s abductor imprisoned, he’s really saying he will lie his a$$ off regardlng summers disappearance

    2. @Erin Atley what is TIR and SA?

      Folks take it for granted that everyone knows what they’re talking about.
      If one must abbreviate, it would be helpful to know what you’re abbreviations are for.
      Example: The Federal Bureau-Investigation (FBI) is on the case. The FBI interviewed the suspect.
      After you write it out, we can follow/understand.

    3. Why should there be? You’re an adult, you have internet access, you can check the updates law enforcement puts out. Don’t trust the crap on social media because that’s mob rule, not evidence.

    5. @Rocket Queen
      TIR= the interview room. youtube channel belonging an to a retired detective.
      SA= sexual assault
      if you don’t want to fall into 100 rabbit holes about Summer’s case all at once, i’d suggest watching “noor jasmine” and “it’s a crime”

  14. Don Wells was asked Chases favourite question “what do you think should happen to the person that took Summer ?” He said he would leave it to God . He was asked if the person should be sent to prison and he didn’t say yes . Massive red flags .

    2. Red flags? Maybe him trying to be merciful even to someone who might have killed his daughter. No doubt fighting the baser instinct to pummel the perp to death!

    3. Or could merely be trying to speak to the abductor in a way that evokes empathy towards a father who is desperate for his daughters return ONLY!
      Hardly gonna help saying come forward so we can hang u!

    4. @Fallopia5150 and @j h yes, I can see both your points but still he made no direct plea for either her safety OR her return.

      If he’s as clever as he’s being given credit for (and I suspect he’s more street smart than clever), then yes to giving a well intentioned abductor empathy (I understand why you took her (to save or protect her based upon his calling it a heroic act)) but then why not again use this to appeal to this ‘heroic’ individual for the sake of the boys and say just how upset/afraid they are not knowing what’s happened with their sister? Please let somebody know she is ok?

      And if it truly were an act of heroism, why would this person be concerned only for Summer’s safety and not the other children’s? When asked to speak directly to Summer as if she could hear, there were no comforting words, such as we/I love you, I/we (or at least lots of people) am/are looking for you.

      I can overlook their potentially increased substance abuse in more recent weeks as if my child was missing with no answers and then I lost my other children via a court sanctioned action then I too would need to be heavily medicated albeit via doctors in my case (and I highly doubt prescription drugs would suffice based upon their assumed tolerance levels would be).

      I can almost overlook their speaking in past tense too, as we don’t know when LE gave them statistics of child being dead or how Rose’s unsolved disappearance plays into their thinking

    5. @Phillip Salone I don’t believe Don is an intellectually minded person myself! (And I would like to reiterate that in no way am I saying this to degrade or belittle Don)
      But factors such as the following could go some way in explaining his reactions to the things that you find concerning!

      • Don is a member amongst the seven-day Adventists church! (I don’t believe Don is a devoted Christian at all if I’m being honest! However the Christian community rallied in support of the family! Using religious speech to me makes sense as it is generally spoken in a public or publicised setting!) so I think Don is using phrases familiar to him in order to promote a man of good Christian standing and a moral man! Someone the public could get on board with regardless of social class!
      • As the panel discussed, Don has not had the most successful or pot luck kinda life! He has always experienced the worst in the world therefore expects the worst: the worst out come here is obviously the death of Summer!
      • I think Don is a pessimist character due to his lifestyle and upbringing! And is adapt to accepting; what will be will be will be! Therefore, he is more likely to accept the most probable of worst outcomes ie summer is not coming home!
      • Don is aware of how he is perceived! I believe that whilst he is sincere in his words! He is trying to articulate himself or come across at the very least as a very articulate person, because of his socioeconomic status, lack of education and perceived perception of what viewers think of him!

      Im pretty sure behind closed doors Don is ranting, raving using the f’s b’s and c’s whilst relaying to others what he would do to the perpetrator if he was to get his hands on him/her!
      All I see is a man who seems to be trying hard to not let his low socioeconomic status impede the help on finding his daughter! A man who knows he is being judged, has been judged and will continue to be judged!

    2. I agree! Also, I feel he was there as a prop to portray what a good parent DW was.

      Same way, he calls God’s name into many of his earlier speeches to manipulative us into believing there’s no reason to look to him as a suspect as he’s a good Christian man.

      Praying for Summer 🙏❣️

    2. ive seen a video saying the missing girls aunt also had been missing since 2009, the sister of the missing girls mother.

  20. The little boy bearing the dreadful weight of being on the internet and perhaps of having left the basement door open breaks my heart. Mom has the stunned look and buzzy voice of someone who’s had one shock too many and perhaps one Xanax too few. I think Dad’s taciturn, hurt puzzlement is genuine; he seems a man baffled by the insurmountable and breathtaking cruelty of his life, groping for the solace of religion and fighting to maintain a stoic exterior. I’m horribly afraid of what the sideslip of blame that casual “of course” delivered into the boy’s life might do to him and his brothers if his sister isn’t recovered safely soon.
